POPULARITY
Angie Fiedler Sutton walks us through her professional fangirl journey: from fangirling over Martin Freeman to crafting a master’s thesis around geeky topics, to developing her own podcast, G33K Out. Angie’s passion for geek media is fueled not only by her own interests and work in the arts, but also through her educational pursuits in journalism, with a focus on art and popular culture. We unpack and explore why she hesitated to call herself a fangirl because of the negative connotations around the word, the differences in how men and women engage with fandom, and the importance of reclaiming the term. We also talk about the shame fangirls over age forty experience being active in fandom, and the way fandom has evolved over time.

In this episode, the Chicks -- and Jeff! -- turn their attention to that most confusingly reviled summer remake, Ghostbusters. Spanning from analysis of how "cosplay-ish" the trailer felt to what downright just worked in this film, every angle is dissected. Did it live up to our fond memories of the original 80's classic? Or are our childhoods legitimately ruined and our psyches irrevocably damaged? How did the media's treatment of every tiny reveal, from the original announcement to the opening weekend, help or hinder? Everything is on the table and nothing is safe -- except Mike Hat, the anxiety dog. Listen in on our round-table ramblings, and comment to let us know your thoughts! The panel: Jen Wise, Carolyn Wise, Mindy Inlow, Angie Fiedler Sutton, Heather French, Sonya Rodriguez, Kathryn Sanders, Jeff Hackworth

Head’s up that I talked a lot during this one. See show notes here.
